Chipotle Pork Cheeseburger

Chipotle pork cheeseburger, from gourmet.com

This--a chipotle pork cheeseburger--is what I'm going to eat tonight. We have leftover chipotles in adobo, and I bought some ground pork at the farmers market, and I made some mayonnaise, &c. I'm excited about this [1].

Updated 10pm: and it was good.

[1] Less so by the glass of water, though.

The same songs

Kelefa Sanneh on Michael Jackson:

Thursday night in New York was hot--after weeks of rain, it was one of the first real summer nights of the year. Car windows were open all over the city, and just about every station on the radio dial had switched to an all-Michael Jackson format; for the first (and, for all we know, the last) time, it felt as if absolutely everyone was listening to the same songs.
